Ken Block: Rally driver and YouTuber killed in snowmobile accident (bbc.com) 15 points by sturza 3y ago ↗ HN
[–] cojoke 3y ago ↗ Really sad to hear about Ken’s passing. Athletes like him and Travis Pastrana will always have been a big part of my youth.That said, Snowmobiles and ATVs continue to stay firmly in the “no thanks I’m good” category for me. [–] skyyler 3y ago ↗ Yep. As fun as they look, there are three people in my personal life that are varying levels of disabled due to ATV accidents. [–] no-dr-onboard 3y ago ↗ I believe it was only earlier last year that the Diesel Brothers/Cleetus McFarland had a near-death experience with a snowmobile. Really brought awareness to how dangerous those vehicles can become.
